Diraq switches on a silicon quantum computer inside a commercial data center

The Australian startup's 8-qubit system is running at an Equinix facility in Sydney, sharing space with classical servers and GPUs Quantum computers usually live like rare orchids: isolated, pampered, and kept far away from anything resembling normal life. Diraq just moved one into a commercial data center. The Australian startup has launched an 8-qubit silicon spin quantum computer at an Equinix data center in Sydney. That makes it the first silicon spin system running in a shared facility rather than a dedicated lab. The system came online around November 9-10, 2026. It takes up approximately 170 square feet of floor space. Diraq’s machine plugs into standard data center infrastructure, including classical servers and GPUs.
